Symposium overview
The molecular processes of life are naturally dynamic in space and time from the atomic to the organismal level. The rapid development of imaging methods across the full scale of biological organisation is revolutionising our ability to visualise the inner workings of macromolecular complexes, organelles, cells, tissues, organs and whole organisms. Being able to see biological processes unfold in real time allows us to understand the mechanisms of life as well as disease.
The symposium will bring together the leading developers of imaging methods with cutting-edge applications that illustrate how imaging can answer biological questions. We will emphasize methods that can capture the dynamics of life, spanning the whole range from molecular resolution to imaging of whole organisms.
From its beginning in 2011, ‘Seeing is believing’ has embraced novel imaging technologies that open new windows for biological discovery, including single-molecule and super-resolution, light sheet, and correlative light electron microscopy.
The symposium provides many opportunities for presentations, discussions, and interactions between students, postdocs, junior, and senior investigators.
What past participants say about the Symposium
“‘Seeing is believing’ at EMBL exemplifies how interdisciplinary imaging approaches are transforming our ability to connect structure with function, helping provide context in biological landscapes, and making what we observe in biology more believable than ever.” – Prabhu Prasad Swain, EPFL, Switzerland
“Great platform for staying updated with the latest imaging advances and their exciting applications, and even more importantly, the names behind these breakthroughs.” – Lara Laparra Cuervo, Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, Germany

Warning
EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
Please also note that:
- EMBL never provides attendee lists for purchase. Any offers of such are fraudulent.
- EMBL will never call or email you to ask for your credit card details or to request a payment.
- All payments are on invoice.
Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
About
EMBO | EMBL Symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration in the European research area. They provide scientists with a platform to discuss and exchange ideas on forward-looking topics and new developments in the life sciences.
Topics emphasise upcoming developments and the interdisciplinary nature of related fields. Jointly funded and organised by EMBO and EMBL – and complementary to their respective courses, workshops, and conference programmes – the symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration.
All symposia are held in the EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC) in Heidelberg, Germany, or virtually.
